J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 6 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Amazon (Seattle, WA) en mars 2011
Entretien
I was contacted by a recruiter based on my LinkedIn profile who set me up for a phone interview. There were 2 rounds of phone interviews after which I was invited to their Seattle office for an onsite. Recruiters and HR staff were very prompt about letting me know the results of my interviews. After the initial interview, I was notified within 24 hours of their interest in moving forward.
The onsite consisted of five 1:1 interviews including lunch with the manager. The manager asked me an interview question while eating lunch which was not the most pleasant experience. It was obvious he was ambitious and driven but did not have the best social skills. Some interviewers were friendly and encouraging while others were not.

Assume you are given 2 words, an initial word and destination word, (valid based on the English dictionary) containing the same number of letters. You are allowed to only change 1 letter at a time. Describe a an algorithm to find the shortest path (shortest number of letter changes) to get from the initial word to the destination word.
It started with an OA, and then after a few weeks, I got invited to four rounds of interviews: technical and behavioral at 3 of the 4, and behavioral only at one.

Question 1
Pergunta historicas baseada nos principios de lideranca da amazon.
The whole process stretched over nearly a month, longer than I anticipated. After an initial phone screen, I faced a technical round that included a Min Stack implementation question. We discussed design considerations and thread safety, which threw me for a bit. Fortunately, I remembered a specific mock interview I practiced on PracHub that mirrored this scenario closely, making me feel more at ease. Ultimately, I received an offer, but I chose to decline due to the company culture not feeling like the right fit.
